Fiat Barchetta 2010, recreation
November 30, 2008 by Automotive
Filed under Automotive news
The Fiat Barchetta , like the Coupe , are models that the Fiat design with its subsidiary sporting Alfa Romeo , where both have had great success when exited the market for the first time, back in the years 90s . But now things have changed radically for Fiat , where the objective is very different at that position.
There is no evidence that the Italian firm re-submit a new Barchetta in the future, but this does not remove the same way that the futurists of the web of theirs to make, because as we see in the picture Reichel Car Design, has a recreation that could make the new Barchetta .
In the picture we see that the same may be larger and more aerodynamic, which could have a larger optical and air intake air with the built-in Grande Punto . We can also see a new air intake to your sides, a new and interesting hood, and so little that you can see, new seats, (most sports) with a completely new interior.
Of course all this is just a guess, because there is no accurate record showing that Fiat interested in presenting this to a new Barchetta in the future. But to see that the company is growing, it is possible that at some point we see some sign of its re-entry into the market. In addition might be sold under Abarth .

November 30, 2008 by Automotive
Filed under Automotive news
The BYD F3DM , is known as the hybrid car more cheaply and economic development of the world, where as many thought and believed, this was never going to make a reality. But recently the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China , has approved the manufacture and marketing of this model in their country, that gives the first great step for hybrid cars worldwide.
As we saw in reports CochesEco , this F3DM is nothing more than the previous generation of Toyota Corolla , which is also low in developing their own, thus providing a substantially lower in the final cost of the car. The batteries are iron phosphate, (theoretically more secure) in which they were developed by the manufacturer.
The batteries have a fast charge mode, where the same could be filled by 50% in just 10 minutes . But in normal mode, is estimated to be 7 hours. The lifespan of the battery is 10 years or 600,000 km. The cost is 100,000 to 130,000 yuan ( 11,350 to 14,760 euros / 14,645 19,000 U.S. dollars).
Is expected to reach Europe and USA in a short time, but to get to these markets, several things must be done before. One is that the same success expected in China , then once that is well accepted, entered the Japanese market and then to Europe and USA . If the Chinese do well, they may have gold in their hands. Only depend on them.

Filed under Automotive news
Lexus present in the Hall of Paris , its new and interesting variant Cabrio of its medium the IS where as we see in image, the Japanese company has done an excellent job based on his sedan, as it finishes and endings are very good. The engine of this Lexus is the same as the sedan, the gasoline, six cylinders in V with 208 hp .
Among the new equipment that incorporates the highlights control VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management ), which controls the brakes, assisted by the way), the security system Pre-crash ( PCS ) Side airbags and a few larger ones.

The IS C has a folding hard roof, and three pieces of aluminum, which operates in 20 seconds.
As for the aesthetic this Lexus looks very nice and with excellent finishes. In its front was virtually not see any change, there is only a retouch in its optics and its lower part. On the side we see a larger door and a more clean and smooth. And in his rear appreciate some great optics, with a completion very similar to the front.
And as for the operation of the CC (Coupe Cabrio), supposedly is the fastest on the market, but apart from that this is true or not, it has an excellent design, with a style that makes me agree to Volvo C70 CC.

GM, to survive is to be undoing of several of its brands
November 30, 2008 by Automotive
Filed under Automotive news
It seems that the U.S. government has decided to give the loan money to their terminals ( GM and Chrysler ), but to make the best of the marks, they should get rid of that excess Or rather what they did not return. And for this GM shall sell, or kill, to several of its current markets.
Of the firms that are spoken are Pontiac (with final insurance), Saturn and Saab , where the latter is the more accomplished at this last time. If we see a case by case, the three brands have lost much, where none has achieved anything important during this last time.
In the case of Pontiac , this is the worst to be found since the beginning of the 90s (period where they had a large number of models on the market). If we have to start cutting costs to be around here, because it does not gain a long time ago. For my part, I think it should be sold to another firm, as the history and the potential is very large.
With Saturn , the problem differs somewhat, because unlike Pontiac , this began as a very interesting signing and praised, but to put the model Opel under their mark, the signature left by the branches and leave aside the purpose for which it was created. For me it should be sold, it can have a good future.
And finally Saab , this is one of the three, which has more chances of progressing, (unclear if GM lets you put on the market at 9-1 and 9 -4 ) But the thing is that it is very difficult to achieve. The Swedish firm has always been a very interesting mark, and with major technological advances in security. But in this last time to convince finished no buyers, which led to be in this situation. For me, this should be sold to a Swedish company, to stop being in the hands not of others.
The directive GM will make a decision between November 30 and December 1. We hope for the best.

Initially be available in
40 service stations , and the price per liter of supply for launch, will be 3.19 pesos . The Euro Diesel also complies with antipollution regulations Euro 4 , which allows entry into a future, more advanced engines to the market.
For next year, the
Euro Diesel be found at 300 stations throughout the country. This fuel is in addition to the current volume of Ultra Diesel XXI, in which only cover the demand for the latest generation of cars.
YPF gives us several points on which one should consume his new Euro Diesel , first because it has less emission of black smoke on impact to the greenhouse effect, to protect the power system and injection , To make it more useful life of the gas treatment system, more power, reduced noise, increased performance-lower consumption, better lubricity and lower maintenance cost and greater life of the pump Injection.
The new proposal
YPF will result in better engines that come in the future, thanks to legislation that has the Euro 4 , but also by what the company says is much better in several respects.
I hope this is a new beginning, (by the issue of low emissions) and which is not only a promotion of a product that it will be useless in the future.
